"We will be looking to our leaders — our second and third-year players — to stand up, but it will take an even contribution if we are to be successful."

Brenton Toy, Coach of Northern Territory

Players to Watch: Jed Anderson

"2011 All Australian as a bottom aged player, selected in the AIS Academy, 2 time Premiership player with the NTFC in the NEAFL (Northern League & Cross Conference). Has continued to grow in strength, confidence and ability. Possesses an uncanny ability to read the play, rarely beaten in contested situations and has outstanding leadership qualities."

Ben Rioli

"A late developer but has made his mark in back pocket for the Territory Thunder in the NEAFL Season. Although slightly built he has a rare sense for the game. His composure, courage and run from defence earned him the NEAFL Round 6 Rising Star Nomination and was inspirational in the Thunder’s come from behind win against the Sydney Swans Reserves. Football character of the highest order – Rioli is certainly one to watch."
